Boards of Canada Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

lol: I was told the guy who went to the Tomorrow's Harvest listening party instead of my guy didn't like the album at all.

This is the same person who LOVED the new Daft Punk.

Kinda rustles your jimmies, doesn't it ...

I'm quite sure my friend wasn't lying to me, and I certainly wasn't making this whole story up. However, the word "listening party" is what I called this thing I was told about - I'm sure about this: It was a press promo event that took place at Cologne some days ago and that involved journalists listening to the album. For me that was a "listening party" but it was probably less of a party and more of a work-thing.

Track-by-tracks reviews have already been published, where would the authors have heard the album if no promos were sent out ... ?

So after what you posted, I assume there will be listening parties of some other sort before the release... neat.

In a Warp office, as was stated in one of those articles you are talking about

Oh, I never read them because I didn't want to go into the album with other people's opinions in mind!

So is there a Warp office or something similar in Cologne? Something went down there, for all I know.

I'll link you the article once it's released - until then, I shall be regarded as a coldblooded liar!

(This is how TitsAndAcid must have felt...yeah I didn't believe him either)

everyone is saying that TCH had one pre-release track, OSTRE, but actually I remember Satellite Anthem Icarus was also released early...was played on the radio or something. I had both tracks saved to my hd well before release. I would expect at least one more track to surface before the launch date.

this is what i thought too, and dayvan cowboy right?

Somethings happening tomorrow

The place in the image is apparently a place called Dolores Lake, in the Mojave desert.

Abandoned waterpark. Would make a nice venue.

Also, and Adult Swim shoutout?

(not really)

dayvan cowboy was the single (with both the video and ep appearance on Trans Canada EP), but I don't remember it coming out early. The timeline as I remember it was:

OSTRE and SAI played/leaked in the days leading up to TCH --> TCH ---> Dayvan Cowboy video with Kittinger footage --> Trans Canada Hwy EP

there was also the music video with the porn footage at the end, I forget when that came out...was it after the TCH EP, or before? Mind not working so good these days...

That was the invocation video and it was release prior to Trans Canada Hwy.

Here's an amusing concept -

I've lurked on WATMM for at least a decade and this community is still as great as it ever was; arguably due to this community being fairly small. Much electronic mainstream music in 2013 is clearly very influenced by the artists we have long loved.

BoC haven't been in the limelight for 8 years. Their music is very accessible compared to the likes of Autechre et al. Warp aren't some obscure record label anymore, particularly given their diverse artist lineup now. And they're definitely not fucking about with marketing for this album.

It's entirely possible that this album, if it is as brilliant as we're all hoping, gets more mainstream attention than any previous album.

This means more hipster BoC fans, and WATMM is the first place an onslaught would flock to...

OH NOES

 

Found this at random earlier.

maaaaaaaan. so awesome

actually impressed at the audio quality in that second video given it's probably from a phone

edit: lol @ the "YEEEEAAHHHH'

going by the quietus review, i'm going to bet that the detroit track is 'cold earth'

  Quote

'Cold Earth'

There's an opening salvo of soaring choral melodies and pulsing bass, backed by skittering rhythms, before a complex, Eastern-influenced melody weaves in and out of some tough, electro beats. There are some strange, distended vocal yelps. This is classic BOC, the first song that is really recognisable as being by them. It's pitched somewhere between Geogaddi and Music Has The Right To Children. It's basically everything that is great about BOC, but it sounds fresh and vital. They're looking back to take their sound forwards.

What happened to The Quietus review? It's down.

i know, weird huh?

i pulled it from the cached version.
